Social Media Issues: An Ethics Training

Wednesday, August 10
9:00 – 10:30am
Online / Zoom
Free Training

Training Description: Social media has become a widely common way to engage with friends, colleagues, and community members. However, it can be challenging for Recovery Coaches to use social media in a thoughtful way. The coach/client relationship can suffer if social media is used inappropriately. One of the most common questions or issues we hear about is how to appropriately use social media as a Recovery Coach. In this training, ethics expert Lisa Lord will provide some basic guidelines and principles, along with relevant case studies to ensure appropriate social media usage.

Learning Objectives: 

• Highlight commonly occurring social media issues and how to avoid them
• Relate the basic principles contained in the Code of Professional Ethics
• Know where to find the answers to detailed ethical questions for their practice
• Identify the scope of practice within our lane: motivational interviewing, resource provision.
• Define how ethics, values, morals, laws, and boundaries are understood in recovery coaching
• Appreciation of personal choices in morals and values
• Appreciation of universality of ethics and boundaries
